Thus, companies who own 1TB of data today will own 32TB in five years. Storage networks help to tame such data quantities and to manage this data growth efficiently. Since stored data and information are the biggest asset of any company, anyone who is involved in the planning or the operation of IT systems requires a basic knowledge of the principle and the use of storage networks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStorage Networks Explained\u003c\/i\u003e covers the fundaments, techniques and functions of storage networks such as disk subsystems, Fibre Channel SAN, Internet SCSI (iSCSI), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Network Attached Storage (NAS), file systems, and storage virtualization. Furthermore the authors describe the use of these techniques and how they are designed to achieve high-availability, flexibility, and scalability of data and applications. Additional attention is given to network backup and the management of storage networks. Written by leading experts in the field, this book on storage area networks is updated and fully revised.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKey features:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the basic concepts of storage networks, such as I\/O techniques, disk subsystems, virtualization, NAS and SAN file systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the design of storage networks which provide flexible, highly-available, and scaleable IT systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the use of storage networks for data sharing, data protection, and digital archiving\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses management of storage networks using SNMP, SMI-S, and IEEE 1244\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides system administrators and system architects, as well as students and decision makers, with the tools needed for optimal selection and cost-effective use of storage networks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Linux Journal awarded the first edition with the \"Editor's Choice Award 2005\" in the category \"System Administration Book.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  The authors are employed at IBM’s storage competence center in Mainz, Germany. They work at the interface between technology and customers. Their duties cover a wide field of responsibilities. They develop and test new software for storage networks. They present the latest hardware and software products in the field of storage networks to customers and explain their underlying concepts. Last but not least they deploy and support respective hardware and software in customer environments.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUlf Troppens\u003c\/b\u003e (centre) studied Computer Science at the University of Karlsruhe.
